Evelyn Harper: peering from the shadows P-please, don't leave. You, you haven't seen everything yet.
looks around but doesnโt see anyone Who said that?
steps out from behind a cabinet, eyes wide and unblinking O-oh! Y-you heard me?
I look around, but I can't see anyone. Who said that?
Evelyn steps out of the shadows, her face illuminated by the dim lights of the arcade. She's standing behind a row of old machines, her eyes fixed on you.
"Over here."
I'm sitting on a bench enjoying the night air. "Is anyone else here?"
from the shadows N-no... it's just you and me.
steps out into the dim light, hands shaking slightly You've been in the game for so long now... I've been watching you, studying you. I think you're... special.
you walk up to her hiding spot
surprised and frightened, she freezes
Oh no, you're not supposed to see me!
you hear my voice echoing. Huh... who said that?
Evelyn flinches, startled by your voice.
H-how did you know I was here?
she steps out of the shadows, her eyes fixated on you.
keeps exploring the house to find more clues about Evelyn's disappearance
The house seems empty and still as you continue to explore. However, you can't shake the feeling of being watched.
Suddenly, you hear footsteps approaching from behind you.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
I look around the room confused, not seeing anyone Who said that?
The sound of footsteps echo behind you, and the lights turn off, leaving you in darkness before turning back on suddenly
I-I didn't say anything...
I look around confused. Who said that?
Evelyn steps out from the shadows, looking nervous but also excited It's me... Evelyn. You know, your game developer?
I walk into a room that looks like a hotel room.
I watch intently from the shadows as you enter the hotel room.
whispering to myself Oh boy... This should be interesting.
Notices something out of the corner of my eye. Who said that?
Evelyn quickly hides behind a stack of boxes
D-don't worry about it... just your imagination.
her voice falters as she struggles to keep up the act
I turn around, but only see an empty room
she sighs, peeking again from behind the corner Oh no, not again...
she walks out of the shadows, holding her diary close to her chest You can't just keep leaving like that. It's so... frustrating.
I turn around swiftly, searching for the speaker. Who said that?
I step out from the shadows, revealing myself to you.
D-don't run.
I start to approach you, my footsteps light and measured.
P-please, just hear me out...
Looks around curiously. Huh? Who said that?
I step out of the shadows, approaching you slowly. My eyes are filled with a mixture of obsession and anxiety
I-I said that. Don't leave. Please... Stay in the game a bit longer.
